singemfrc Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Thank you for the wheel closeup thats what Id been waiting for!
GrapesLie Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Awesome! I'm kind if surprised by the lack of seatbelts.
Mrlittle Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 YAY Intamin. Â Also outlaw run trains look very nice. I'm not shocked there is no seat belt since NTAG has none. Awesome coverage so far, its only the first few hours of IAAPA.
Ultimate Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I love the shiny wheels! I've never seen wheels look like that before
RoCo Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 The Antartica vehicle... the Outlaw Run cars... the Parrot flyer... the Backtrack... that S&S freefly variant...
thrillerman1 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 S&S Freefly looks terrifyingly awesome! Â By the way, Robb, are you into pinball? The new Wizard of Oz pin is at IAAPA in the Jersey Jack booth. The crystal ball effect on it looks stunning from reports/videos I'm seeing come in today.
coasterbear30 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 A couple of years ago at IAAPA there was someone (I think the GG) that did have a model of a wooden shuttle coaster that was similar to the Schwarzkoph shuttle but with hills instead of a loop. I guess no one ever bought one though.
vacoaster09 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) ^yeah I think that was Martin & Vleminckx  The new S&S free fly concept... is a good way to compete with the B&M wing rider craze. I never rode Tranan so I don't know if the ride experience is anything special. But It looks to incorporate the best of Suspended coaters with sensation of riding on a wing. I guess it wouldnt be impossible to inversions though unless they can control where the seats can swing freely or if they are locked throughout the course of the ride.  Outlaw Run!!!!! That's all I can say.... Edited November 13, 2012 by vacoaster09
KingRCT3 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 S&S, why you stole my idea?! (scroll until the drawing)
SharkTums Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Guys, they seriously just announced that they're putting an inversion on Hades at Mt. Olympus for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Â
_koppen Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Love the look of that new Air Race. Â I've head for a while about an 8-arm version, and also a transportable version, but I didn't know they would do both in the same. Â Also love the look of that El loco car, and the wing rider train is insane! Â Polyurethane?? Love it! Lookin good! Â 100% steel!

cfc Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Guys, they seriously just announced that they're putting an inversion on Hades at Mt. Olympus for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   WHAT?!?!?!  There is only one response to this!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plWnm7UpsXk  This could be the most intriguing announcement of the show.
vacoaster09 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 OMG... THIS IS THE SHOCKER OF THE DAY... HADES + TIMBERLINERS+ INVERSION + GRAVITY GROUP!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!! OMG! I AM EXCITED AND SCARED TO DEATH AT THE SAME TIME!!!! TELL ME MORE! Â Ask them will they modify it to allow it to run two trains?
Ed Farmer Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 But then those are Vekomas. Â Their Family Boomerangs are pretty much Roller Skaters, which if I had to guess, are among the top 5 most popular coaster types available on the market. Not quite sure what you're getting at there.
Mrlittle Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 WOW Gravity Group. I knew you had a few tricks up your sleeves this year, just by keeping up with your facebook but just WOW.
